Centralized device management has automated onboarding and improves remote security compliance
One thing I feel Microsoft Intune could improve is troubleshooting visibility. In many cases, when a policy or application deployment fails, the error messages are a bit generic. So, admins still spend time checking logs manually or testing on devices one by one. Compared to the simplicity of deployment, troubleshooting sometimes feels less mature. I also think reporting and real-time monitoring could be stronger. The dashboard gives useful information, but in large environments, many teams still depend on additional tools or scripts for deeper reporting and analytics. If I had to focus on one area first, I would probably choose troubleshooting and reporting. Deployment through Microsoft Intune is generally straightforward, but when something fails, identifying the exact root cause can still take more time than expected. Error messages are sometimes too generic, and admins often have to dig through logs, sync status, or multiple portals to understand what actually happened. I think user experience and policy management could also improve further. Microsoft Intune has become much better over the years, but sometimes the admin portal still feels fragmented because certain configurations open in different sections or redirect to older interfaces. For new admins, especially, it can take time to understand where everything is located. Another thing is policy conflict handling. In larger organizations, multiple device policies, compliance rules, and configuration profiles can overlap. When conflicts happen, the visibility is not always very clear, so admins spend time figuring out which policy actually won or caused the issue.

Secure remote access has transformed global support and simplified cross-platform collaboration
BeyondTrust Remote Support has good features that are not available in other apps, including rebooting without disconnection and the ALT + CTRL + deletion function. It's easier for data transfer, and multiple people can join a session easily. I think BeyondTrust Remote Support could be improved by being a bit more user-friendly in terms of connecting for a user. I would add that the zoom function allows us to zoom, but you can't particularly move around once you have zoomed in. Additionally, sometimes a remote connection cannot be established for unknown reasons, even if the host machine is clearly online. I have noticed that BeyondTrust ABS can sometimes be challenging to navigate, but it's no more challenging than other competitors.

Accessing multiple PCs from remote locations is easy and reliable with this solution
The solution works very well, I do not have any problem with it at all. The only problem is they have more than tripled their price in the last three years over what they used to charge. A price reduction would probably be warranted as I am not getting three times the service. My husband uses it too and he agrees that a price reduction would be the only thing he would be looking for. The vendor more than tripled the price in the last three years — so it has doubled and then doubled again. They have just kind of gone through the roof when it comes to pricing and I think that they are justifying that because of the demand.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Autopilot is a feature I really like."
"The best features include the management, which is quite good, and endpoints."
"One of the main features of the solution is it allows the management of many devices in different ways."
"We can securely manage both company-owned devices and personal devices enrolled in our BYOD program."
"On the cloud, you can manage everything; you can push policies, maintain patches, and maintain security because everything interacts on the cloud and a VPN is not required."
"The Autopilot feature is fantastic. It is a Microsoft product, so it deals best with Microsoft operating systems, but it can integrate with iOS, Mac OS, Linux, and Android."
"The best features of Microsoft Intune include continuous implementation of new capabilities each year, covering almost everything."
"Autopilot is the most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune."
"One of the largest values that we get from Bomgar Remote Support tool is the ability to assist our drivers with their mobile devices. We were unable to do this previously."
"We are able to be more effectively connected to computers and servers all over the world."
"Remote sessions are automatically recorded so there is a history of all coding and scripting, and notes and videos can be attached for both customers and service partners which is powerful."
"This is a very secure product."
"The firm has greatly benefited from using Bomgar Remote; it is a lightweight, reliable solution that gives IT a direct visual of occurring issues."
"I would rate the product ten out of ten."
"It has a straightforward setup. Bomgar has created a simple, lightweight deployment process."
"BeyondTrust Remote Support is a complete and robust remote support solution which offers everything you need."
"Technical support is very good and very fast; we find them to be very knowledgeable."
"I can do anything from a remote desktop as if I were sitting at my own PC."
"The technical support is good."
"The installation is almost instant."
"This solution has allowed us to have a highly flexible remote access solution in DR/BC situations."
"The solution is very quick to set up."
"One of the most convenient features is that I can print from it and do everything as I would if I were sitting at my own desktop."
 

Cons

"Having a dedicated configuration server that assists in modifying the configuration service, and creating personalized structures, interfaces, and web services could enhance usability."
"The worst aspect is the reporting."
"Currently, BitLocker does not support BYOD enrollment, which is a product limitation."
"The UI is not user-friendly and has room for improvement."
"We need the capabilities of the Cloud Management Gateway (CMG) to be enhanced through Intune instead of Azure."
"I know that their AI pieces are at the infancy stage, but allowing users to do more tagging for information would be an interesting thing because Intune also directly integrates with Azure. Because a lot of the devices are hosted with that, you also get a lot of tagging of user data and other things like that."
"Currently, Microsoft Intune's focus is mainly on Windows, but they can make much more improvement in terms of other platforms."
"The most significant issue I encounter is troubleshooting when a policy is not applying or a device is showing non-compliant; the error messages can be pretty vague, which makes it necessary for me to dig around and piece things together myself."
"I would also like to see better support of Apple devices while using a Windows remote support console."
"I would like to be able to transfer files between sessions."
"One potential improvement is in the support department."
"I think BeyondTrust Remote Support could be improved by being a bit more user-friendly in terms of connecting for a user."
"It lacks voice integration like the other products because they need the compression to support that large amount of concurrent sessions. We've had to sacrifice voice."
"Non-Windows support capabilities need improvement. They need to expand into Macs, iOS, and Android. It's there now, however, there's room for growth and that's probably the best area to expand."
"I would like to see more integration with iOS devices along with better connectivity and communication with these devices."
"​The possibility to integrate a chatbot would take this product to the next level​."
"The only problem is they have more than tripled their price in the last three years over what they used to charge."
"This solution requires that the PC is "on" in order to reach it remotely. If the PC is hung then it requires a reboot."
"Integration could be improved. I'd prefer if the solution could integrate with our support and report tools as well as our timesheet reporting."
"The pricing has tripled in a small amount of time and there is not three times better service."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the price a four out of ten with ten being the most expensive."
"There is a license required to use this solution. However, it was part of a bundle package. Microsoft Intune is far less expensive than other solutions, such as Workspace ONE."
"Its pricing seems reasonable."
"I am satisfied with the pricing."
"Its licensing model is not complex, but it is very expensive compared to other solutions. They can bring more models and reduce the pricing. They should allow customers to select the features they want and price it accordingly."
"The price could be better."
"Microsoft Intune is moderately priced. There is a monthly license required to use the solution and it is approximately eight dollars per month."
"Microsoft licenses are costly."
"Bomgar has a very fair pricing structure."
"The setup is complex. Purchase the remote implementation service and make them slow down and work with you."
"This product provides value for money."
"Pricing is reasonable for what the service is offering. If it is looked at from a purely remote control perspective then it might appear expensive, but it is the wider functionality that should be considered too."
"We pay every year for the box, and there are no additional costs."
"I highly recommend using the tech team properly trained by Bomgar. This will help the tool be more useful."
"The licensing is concurrent and we spend about $10,000. It's my understanding that there aren't any extra costs beyond just the straight licensing."
"It is not the most cost effective solution on the market."
"It was cheap and now it is comparably expensive. It costs me $484 to use the solution with just two physical PCs."
"We pay approximately 2,000 Euros a year for the solution. The licensing is all-inclusive; you don't have to pay for extra add-ons or services."
